Complete the following imaginary dialogue between Day and Night. The beginning of the dialogue is given for you:
 
Day: Dear friend, I must declare I am more important than you.
 
Night: I don’t know how you can say that.
 
Day: The sun rises during the day. People work and the children can play and go to school.
 
Night: Everyone takes rest at night and without this rest, no one can work during the day. It is not less important.
 
Day: You bring darkness, I bring light and all look bright.
 
Night: I have the light of the moon. I make the surroundings cool, you do just the opposite.
 
Day: Indeed, that’s true. We can then say that both of us are important to human beings.
 
Night: Yes, Mankind needs day and night both and without night the day cannot be beautiful.

An Old Blind Lady and a Dishonest Doctor

Once an old lady completely lost her vision in an accident. So, she called in a doctor. The doctor examined her and assured that she would be completely cured but he demanded a large amount as his fees. She agreed to pay it if she was cured. The doctor started treatment of her eyes. As the lady lived alone, the dishonest doctor removed some of her furniture daily. After a few months she was cured but saw no furniture in her house. She realized that the doctor removed all her valuable furniture. Thus she refused to pay the doctor the assured money. She said, “I cannot see any of my furniture. So you have failed to cure my eyes.”
